Start a game in full screen on two monitors

So, recently, I got a new monitor and I tried to run a game in full screen on the primary and another thing on the second. However, when I click on the full screen on the second monitor, it minimizes the game, EVE Online. is there a workaround for this other then put the game in windowed mode.

I use a (e):
ATI 5000 video card
AMD Phenom II x 4 945
8 GB Ram
Win 7 x 64

Usually not.

Most of the Games capture the mouse when it is full screen, a click of the mouse on the outside will minimize.  There are a few games now supporting mode without a border, so they can watch full screen but are not actually around this problem.

  • Game not full screen

    Hello

    When I open certain video games that have been made prior to Windows Vista (it seems that way), the video game will open, but there are black borders on the sides of my screen, and it is really hard to see what is happening in the game. On my other laptop computers that are running Windows XP, the games work fine. On another game that was made in 2007, I had the same problem but fixed it by changing the game at a higher resolution. The problem is, the older games are running in the highest resolution possible, and none of them have a resolution as high as the most recent games. Please help me!

    The games are:

    2001: Stumovik IL-2 1946

    2002: battlefield 1942

    2007 (resolved): Medal of Honor Airborne

    Thank you very much!

    Hello Teo1569.

    I suggest you play the games in your native screen resolution 1366 x 768.  If you must use lower resolutions for performance and that you want to fill the screen, you will need to check with the documentation for your computer on how to fill the screen, this isn't something run by Windows, but rather the view and as such all computers are different.  Most of the screens usually have parameters like the Stretch, appearance or Fill.

  • Get games running full screen on Windows 7

    Last week, I bought this new Toshiba satellite laptop. It has Windows 7. None of my games will run full-screen. I've never had any problem with them my other computers or XP or Vista systems.

    I have W7 Home Premium.

    I'm just sick of trying to understand this. The only solution after it is simply to return the new laptop and buy a used one that works on Xp or Vista.

    If there is someone who could help me, I would be eternally grateful. I am so angry with this. I am the owner of a gambling site and none of my games 33 will now work with the Windows 7 program.

    Thanks in advance for your time, and I really really appreciate your time and your help.

    Hi Tmiller2008,

    What are the games you play?

    Are you trying to play the games online in mode full screen?

    If you download the games and install them on the computer, you can try to do it in compatibility mode and check if it helps to play games using the full screen.

    Make older programs in this version of Windows

    http://Windows.Microsoft.com/en-us/Windows7/make-older-programs-run-in-this-version-of-Windows

    Also, if you are these online games and you use Internet Explorer as your web browser you try to use compatibility view as some of the ancient sites are not compatible with Windows 7.

    Why some sites Web not displayed correctly in Internet Explorer?
